Inclusion of Women and Effective Peace Processes: A Toolkit

  • Leena Avonius, Meeri-Maria Jaarva, Ulrike Schmidt, et al

Summary

The lack of women’s meaningful participation in peace processes remains a major challenge in global efforts to resolve violent conflict. By including women’s perspectives in conflict resolution efforts, the diverse needs of affected societies can be better addressed, thereby reducing the likelihood of relapse into conflict. To support conflict resolution efforts, this toolkit makes actionable proposals for OSCE mediation actors, the Chairmanship, participating States, and Executive Structures on how to increase women’s inclusion in official negotiation processes in the OSCE area.
